  • Apocalypse-zealots report that woman was arrested for sitting next to Just Stop Oil activists

    Apocalypse-zealots the Daily Mail are reporting that Royal superfan Alice Chambers was arrested – presumably by accident – after sitting next to Just Stop Oil activists. I’m sorry but I find this story very amusing, talk about guilt by association.

    …

    The architect, 36, said she had no idea she was sitting beside the environmental activists as they had not yet begun their planned protest.

    As police swarmed on the group at 9am on Saturday, Ms Chambers found herself being handcuffed too.

    …

    She was repeatedly quizzed, physically searched, locked in a cell and officers took her mugshot, fingerprints and DNA in a 13-hour ordeal.

    It wasn’t until she was interviewed by two senior officers at 7pm that police finally realised they had made a mistake and that she was an innocent bystander.

    She was finally released at around 10pm from Wandsworth police station after breaking down in tears. 

    …

    I wonder if she got the cell with shit on the wall, a blanket full of scabies and a cup of tea and pubes treatment. I’ve been arrested a few times although the police are not anywhere near as nasty to me as they used to be.

    ed: I think that I got discordant noise the last time that I was arrested (might have been the time before), many years ago now. I understand that discordant noise is military-grade torture.

    later ed: The memories are coming back. I was arrested at Wandsworth police station once. It was a New Year’s Eve and I was arrested because the insane girlfriend I had at the time refused to pay for a black cab. I was put in a cage in a dog van with a barking police dog in the next cage. A fat policeman sat on me and very nearly killed me through suffocation.

    So I do find it amusing that someone totally innocent had it.

    8.10am 12/5/23

    1. It’s not amusing that somebody is arrested and abused.
    2. I don’t accept that she was arrested by accident. The police know who people are. It might be a message to architects, a joke about her being red-haired.
    3. The discordant music [22/5/23 noise not music] was when I was arrested at the 888 event. I was arrested by soldiers pretending to be police at that event. It’s likely that they were special ops from Hereford since 888 was a special ops event.
    4. I know why I was abused by police at Wandsworth police station and put into a d-o-g van. [ed: and many people have been killed for that reason, I’ve documented it elsewhere.]

    9.30am 12/5/23

    I can’t find the 888 post, I wonder if it was on the blog at a different host and not transferred over somehow. My blog at my previous host was also ‘hacked’ and posts were lost. That seems to have happened to me a few times for some reason i.e. first and second host.

    888 was an event at Baldwin St, Bristol. From memory the date would have been something close to 8 August 2006 hence why I’m calling it 888. The story goes that somebody entered a Nationwide? building society branch demanding money and claiming to have a bomb in a bag. I was intending to pass this location and changed course at the last moment. I was arrested later by soldiers pretending to be policemen at this event.

  • Just Stop Oil activists arrested in blanket ban on protests on London roads

    ‘Your government has taken away your right to peaceful protest,’ the activists say. ‘If you are not outraged by this, you are not paying attention’

    ACTIVISTS from Just Stop Oil were arrested during their daily action in Parliament Square today as they marched against the detaining of protesters and fossil fuel projects in Britain.

    More than 40 protesters set off from Charing Cross in central London at 8am, but were forced to move their action onto the pavement after being approached by police officers who said they would impose conditions under the Public Order Act (Section 12).

    A blanket notice under the Act was issued on all London roads ahead of the action, making protests unlawful.

    The protesters returned to the road while marching past Whitehall before being told to get off the road once again.

    They returned to the road for a third time at Parliament Square at which point around 12 protesters were arrested.

  • Just Stop Oil continues to assert their right to march and protest

    Just Stop Oil

    Just Stop Oil supporters are now in their third week of marching in central London every day to demand an end to any new fossil fuel projects in the UK.

    At 8 am, around 32 Just Stop Oil supporters began marching from Queen Victoria Street near Mansion House tube station. Just Stop Oil supporters have been marching in the capital, every day since the 24th of April. Police are on scene and currently threatening to impose conditions under the public order act (section 12) in a bid to stifle legitimate dissent. 

    A Just Stop Oil spokesperson said:

    “The Public Order Bill and specifically Section 12 notices are being used to remove the British public’s right to peacefully oppose government policies that threaten the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Marching has been an integral means of bringing about social change for centuries, be it for those seeking universal suffrage, those seeking to gain equality, or those seeking to make transport accessible for disabled people.”  

    The government continues to face criticism in the wake of the wrongful arrests of dozens of peaceful protestors during the coronation, including 19 Just Stop Oil supporters and two independent journalists. No Just Stop Oil supporters have been charged, but some have been released ‘under investigation’ meaning media organisations are unwilling to interview them.

    The Animal Rising activist group, who interrupted the Grand National earlier this year, alleged that 14 of its members were detained in the borough of Hackney, “several miles away from the coronation”.

    In a statement, it said the arrests took place during “an all-day nonviolence training” workshop that had been “publically advertised”.

    In a statement released later on Saturday evening, the Metropolitan Police said it arrested 14 people in East London “on suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance”.

    Sky news understands more than a dozen Just Stop Oil protesters are being arrested ahead of their plans to go over the barrier on the Mall.

    10.23am From Just Stop Oil:

    Around 20 supporters of Just Stop Oil have been arrested for wearing Just Stop Oil t-shirts at the coronation. Just Stop Oil is demanding no new licences or consents for any fossil fuel projects in the UK.

    At around 9:30am, during this morning’s coronation celebrations, around 20 supporters were arrested wearing Just Stop Oil t-shirts. No disruptive action was planned, the supporters were not intending to jump the barrier, merely reveal their t-shirts and hold flags emblazoned with ‘Just Stop Oil.’ 

    This morning also saw the arrests of members of the group Republic, who campaign for an elected head of state to replace the monarch, who were arrested for wearing yellow t-shirts that featured the slogan ‘not my king.’ 

    A Just Stop Oil spokesperson said:

    “What a dystopian nightmare this country has become. While we gather to celebrate putting a billionaire in a sparkly hat; this week the government enacted draconian legislation effectively banning legitimate dissent in this country. As this morning’s events demonstrate, we are living in an authoritarian police state.” 

    “As the world looks on in horror, the government brings in laws that would make a dictator blush. The British people’s fundamental democratic right to march and make our voices heard, has been stripped from us. This affects every one of us, regardless of our political persuasion.”

    “Our government is signing the death warrants of hundreds of millions. Our democracy has been stolen by a corrupt, criminal cabal and if the local election results are anything to go by, the people of this country have had enough. Our government has been bought by the fossil fuel lobby and now they’re busy funnelling taxpayers’ money into companies that are making record profits and jailing anyone with the temerity to complain about it.”
